Extended peace

What would a society look like after twenty years of continuous righteousness (and it’s attendant prosperity)?

Some people might answer that with thoughts of technological advancement. While technological advancement would certainly be possible (even likely) prosperity is separate from technological progress. Prosperity fosters progress but doesn’t demand it.

After twenty years I would expect to see a society where the needs of all people were generously supplied. Imagine the result of more than 75 years of such peace and prosperity due to unfettered and universal righteousness. Other people discovering a society in such a state would feel as if the lowliest among them were living like kings.

In a society transitioning from having everything in common to dividing into classes I have no doubt that I would be able to recognize how the change would affect my family and would find myself in the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum.
